Getting a cell reference
Hi,
Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I need to identify the last cell reference in a "Used Range." Using the following statement finds the last cell okay Sendkeys "^{END}" but how do I get the reference so I can assign it to a variable? (While the cell does appear to be selected, the statement <variable=ActiveCell.Address returns the reference to the starting cell, not the end cell. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, -- Des ) |

Getting a cell reference
Instead of using SendKeys, which can be unreliable in my experience,
(e.g. the keystrokes may get sent to the wrong window) try: <variable = ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Addres s You don't need to move to the last cell just to get its address, but if you need to do so you can say ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Select Desmond wrote: Hi, Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Getting a cell reference
This was very helpful, thank you!
If, however, I use the "Find" method for instance to locate information and then need to get that cell reference, how would I do that? -- Des "Andrew Taylor" wrote: Instead of using SendKeys, which can be unreliable in my experience, (e.g. the keystrokes may get sent to the wrong window) try: <variable = ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Addres s You don't need to move to the last cell just to get its address, but if you need to do so you can say ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Select Desmond wrote: Hi, Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
